Predators' Filip Forsberg: Tips in goal Thursday
Filip Forsberg scored a goal and added four hits in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Oilers.Forsberg has been one of the few Nashville Predators who has enjoyed a strong start to the season. He's up to two goals and two assists over four games, in addition to 16 shots on net and 14 hits, after tallying in the first period Thursday. Forsberg has been better than a point-per-game player in two of the last three years, and his line from last year with Ryan O'Reilly and Gustav Nyquist remains untouched. That could change after the Predators dropped to 0-4-0, but Forsberg should find success with any linemates.
